Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I don’t remember accepting Christ or being baptized. It’s just something that was a fact of my life growing up. I’ve always felt a connection to God during prayer and felt drawn toeards deeper studies of Scripture. I’ve gotten older and learned more about the world and the faith and every day have a new understanding of the Lord and His intentions for us. Its a daily experience for me; not a definite point in time where I found God.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

Barracks Bible Study: Fort Meade, MD, Leader/Organizer, 3 years.

Media Team: Tate Sprimgs Baptist Church, Arlington TX, Camera/Lighting/Sound technician, 6 years.

Personal prayer ministry. Ongoing.

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Basic Training at Fort Benning.

Becoming an Eagle Scout.

Being annointed in the spirit.

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

Opiate and nicotine addiction.

Suicidal depression.

Bad breakups.
